I am on day 3 of no analogs. I like the Cowboy and got a 30ml, 18mg on my first order with my starter kit. I will be buying another kit this week, but could use some help on the next jar of juice.

Of the tobacco sampler, I liked the Hilton and 555. Dunhall was a close third. I want to buy a 30ml 24mg juice, and can anyone tell me which of these three is the best vapor producer? Is there much of a difference between the preloaded cartos and blanks using juice?

Any other tips or suggestions in making the selection? Thanks!

The wow juice typically gives out more vapor then the premium/coolcart juice. If you are pleased with the cartos you got, I would just get the corresponding juice to go with it. I never use blanks, so can't help you there. I always buy the prefilled cartos and then top off and refill with the corresponding juice, or with a complimentary flavor. A lot is just trial and error until you find your sweet spots and favorites! Good luck and congrats! I am a year and a half now of no smoking and it is a great feeling! ;)

I don't do the tobacco flavors, so I can't help you in flavor selection... but, if you're narrowed down to a flavor, there isn't much difference in buying the prefills or blanks if you're going to buy the corresponding juice that goes with it. For two bucks or so more, you get your first 'fill' already done for you, but you're stuck with that flavor's carto color. If you'd rather something else, then go for the blanks.

Smilin' is my daily vape, but it comes in a lime green carto... I'd rather have it in a black one. So, I go for the blanks.

I like 555 of the three you mentioned, and wow 555 even better. Great vapor, but you see, I can only speak for myself. Like JenJen said - through trial and error you have to answer this question for you. I actually put Wow 555 in a used up 555 cool cart.

Max, not only are we the same age, we seem to prefer the same flavors! Cowboy and 555. The Dunhall is wierd... sometimes I really like it, other times not as much, so probably not a good bet for a 30ml jar.

I know it's trial and adjust, but since we both like Cowboy... I think Wow 555 might be my better bet now. You never order blanks? I haven't really taken the time to do the math, but I am going forward thinking blanks and juice is less expensive. I don't mind the process of filling blanks.

If I can piggyback a bit... how many times do people refill cartos? I have been using the condom method, but have damaged two blanks with suction, the white filter popping out. I have taken to putting a pin hole in the bottom of the condom before trying to pull it off. That works, but ruins the condom obviously. I'm still learning about dripping and dipping and all this other tank stuff and whatever... LOL. There are still many things I don't understand yet.

Gravity, I'm definitely the frugal sort, (read broke, LOL) so I don't mind getting blanks even if the savings is minimal.

JenJen, I do like vapor, so Wow it will be... thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

Of the tobacco flavors I like 555 but my favorite is Wowboy..wowbacco is also good. If you wanted you could try menthol/tobacco sample cart box.

V4L was good enough to give me a Wowboy throw in bonus. Never was a menthol man... well, in high school for a year, sometime in the 1800's... it wasn't my cup of tea. I did find the milk chocolate macadamia interesting. I may like the coffee-chocolate flavors down the road.

My initial intent was to quit smoking and eventually quit nicotine as well. Right now, it's all about staying off the analogs as a 2 1/2 pack a day smoker to zero overnight, so I'm purposely not thinking about anything down the road right now. I'm off the analogs. That is more than just fine for today, it's a freakin miracle.

You never order blanks?

Sure I order blanks, I don't make a habit of it because for a buck more you can get 5 prefilled carts of 555, then refill them. Some carts I've filled so manty times I've lost count. Usually that built in atomizer is pretty sturdy. Ya might have to rinse it out once and a while. I never boil or any of that stuff. Warm tap water for me. Others have a whole ritual for cleaning, it's all good. I could see myself soaking them in vodka if they were gunked up and I needed some carts, but so far it's been working out alright for me. I use a sharp 18 gauge syringe to refill and it's just the way to go!! Dunhall has a really nice slight pepper taste I enjoy, I'm vaping some right now. I haven't bought a bottle of it yet, but I will at some point.

To call it a miracle is an understatement! Back in the early 80's I was pulling in BIG bucks. Six figures and the first didgit wasn't a 1. I was a hot shot. I was wrapped up in the ....... culture. I was a coke addict that would make Scarface look like a lightwieght.... ok, I'm exagerating, a lot, I wasn't a dealer, just an addict who gave the stuff away to all sorts of hangers on, had the money for it and it was bad. I lost everything eventually, but kicking ....... was child's play next to cigarettes for me.

A month ago I would have said it was more likely for me to hit the lottery than to quit. It simply was not possible. Only death could make me quit, and I'm not exagerating. If I were stranded on an island, I'd have smoked the coconut leaves. If there were no coconut trees, it would have been dried seaweed. If seaweed was the only thing to eat, I would have smoked it instead.

I am the guy that would NEVER be able to stop analogs. Day 3 and counting....

Congratulations...... I too was a 2+pad smoker. Day 8 was my "ok, this is really going to work" and felt a huge sense of accomplishment. On week 6 now and rarely give analogs a passing thought. I still have 3 packs in my freezer and am not even tempted to light one up. I do still chain vape, but I was a chain smoker to. One day at a time, 1st week is the hardest.

For me, I look at having just one analog as a defeat, but that's just me. That's how I failed every other attempt. One, followed by another, then... right back on the cancer sticks. I look at it as it's the first one that will kill you... or at least the attempt to quit.

I had my worst urge this morning. I usually use 18mg, I went to a 24 and that took care of it within a few minutes. I think it's all highly personalized. From TH to flavors to nicotine dosage. For me, I cannot allow even the idea of having an analog creep into my head. That's why I have none in the house. I'd have to go buy a pack. Part of my plan from the beginning when I was both vaping and smoking for several days. Once I had some idea of how to vape and what would work for me, I made the switch... hopefully forever.

after vaping for awhile I have moved away from tobacco flavors. However out of the ones you Mentioned I like 555 the best. I still have a bottle of WOW-555 that I will use eventually. I have moved to different flavors now. WOW black licorice being my Favorite and WOW pineapple a close second. I have bought Hilton juice before also, but WOW juice is much better, and they don't make a WOW Hilton yet. I would say WOW 555 is your best bet in tobacco flavors.

NoM, I've been telling folks lately that the new VG line seems closer to cigs, with its heavier vape and huge clouds, so you may want to add a couple of VG choices to your list. I just read a couple of rave reviews of the new Wow 555 (VG), and I posted a positive first take on the VG Cafe Mocha. Worth a try. Good luck--take it one day at a time and have plenty of stash around, right?

I have never tried pure VG yet. But I have seen some compeling arguments lately. I might have to give some a whirl in my next order.
